Peace Deal Reached in Kurram DC Attacked Sit-ins Continue
According to local administration, the deputy commissioner’s vehicle came under attack in the Bagan area of Lower Kurram. The deputy commissioner was rushed to Lower Alizai Hospital for treatment where his condition is said to be stable.
DC Javedullah Mehsud is among those who played a significant part in attempts to bring calm back to the area.
It is to be noted here that the first convoy carrying supplies for Kurram is being transported to the region. The convoy, which includes food and other essential goods, is being protected by security personnel, including the police, to ensure safety.
Earlier, it was reported that the Kurram peace deal will be implemented from Saturday, January 4, as a convoy of passengers will travel to Parachinar in a security cordon.
Under the agreement signed in a Grand jirga, all bunkers will be demolished within 15 days. All types of arms will be collected and handed over to the government.
The situation will likely return to normalcy after the handing over of arms and the demolition of bunkers.
After the peace deal for normalization in Kurram, sit-ins continue in the Parachinar and Baggan area of the Lower Kurram region. The participants of the Prachinar sit-in demanded that the government ensure security by opening all roads including the main highway.
Kurram: Grand Jirga finally strikes a peace deal
While the participants of Baggan sit-in insisted that they will not end the protest until handing over of all arms and demolition of bunkers. Protesters also demanded compensation for the shops and homes destroyed in Baggan Bazaar.
The three-week-long Grand Jirga convened to address the unrest in Kurram was successfully concluded with both parties signing an agreement.
Jirga members emphasized that both parties are bound to implement the decisions of the Apex Committee.
A 16-member committee, comprising representatives from both sides, will be formed to oversee the process. Additionally, a plan will be devised under government supervision to collect weapons.
A member of Jirga Abdullah Khan said that bunkers and fortifications from Teri Mangal to Chehri will be dismantled. All roads and routes, including the Tal-Parachinar Road, will be reopened for public use.
